Outline and objectives

Since the early 20th century we have witnessed a number of artistic movements: the birth of conceptual art, abstract expressionism, the rise of pop art and minimalism, the extension into earth, body, the movement toward performance, video, installation, and public art. Amidst all these transformations, how does contemporary art continue to make meanings, communicate, become significant to us? This course looks at various topics in contemporary art and closely examines how art functions in our society. Artistic practices in Europe, North America, Japan and other Asian countries are mainly examined.

Goal

Students will learn major movements, artists and terms in contemporary art.
Students will understand the key developments from the modern art to the contemporary.
Students will become active and discerning participants/viewers of contemporary art, equipped with basic analytical frameworks.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain “DP 1”, “DP 2”, “DP 3”, and “DP 4”.

Summary and final exam

Work to be done outside of class (preparation, etc.)

Students need to keep up with the readings and must be prepared for class discussions. As part of their research, students are required to make at least one visit to an art exhibition suggested by the instructor in order to prepare their presentations and research papers. Preparatory study and review time for this class are 2 hours each.

Textbooks

No textbook will be used. Readings will be made available on Hoppii.

References

References will be made available on Hoppii.

Grading criteria

Final grades are determined by contribution to class discussions and reaction comments (minimum 50 words due by 3pm Thursday (the next day)) (30%), a project paper based on a field trip to an art exhibition and research (40%), a presentation of the project (10%) and the final exam on image identifications (20%).
In the presentation, each student will introduce two artworks they encountered at the exhibition and explain why they liked them. S/he will conduct research on these works to write the paper. (The class schedule with the web links to the images and readings will be updated regularly throughout the semester.)

Changes following student comments

I have made the reaction comments due by 3pm on Thursday (the next day). This will achieve equity especially for slow-writing students.
